Still totally terrified and unclear whether MCAN is the right option. Would just have liked to see more reviews on RealSelf. There are a lot other places but.... anyway tickets are booked. April 24 18 is my date

So I ended up having 4 litres removed and having just small bbl to fill out the upper part of my buttocks. Honestly my feelings are really mixed. I wasn’t nervous or anything going in and they did a good job coordinating. But I got very very very sick and I definitely felt like they weren’t taking it seriously. I was beyond exhausted I couldn’t even get up to pee. I was throwing up, passing out and I had a fever for days and days. They gave me a blood transfusion, two or three but it never really helped. I ended up taking a business class flight home because I was so sick. I will say the pain from the actual procedure was pretty tolerable. Some of the nurses were amazing, some of them were the worst. But in the end I just felt like no one was taking me seriously. I’m a pretty tough person when it comes to these things and I can take a lot. When I say I’m sick and something is wrong I mean it. I went straight to the hospital when I got home I was pretty scared. I was having fever dreams and I couldn’t speak anymore. Turns out that i had gotten salmonella poisoning and because my immune system was compromised it was really kicking my butt. On top of that the antibiotics they gave me to prevent infection made it worse. I still don’t understand how you don’t check for infection or anything if someone has a fever for that long. I couldn’t way anything I was so beyond miserable. I couldn’t bathe I was begging them to keep me in the hospital I couldn’t manage the hotel. Anyway the result is.... fine? He definitely didn’t do a bad job and my result is very even. I still feel like at some point I will have to go back and take a little more from my thighs that wasn’t the result I was looking for exactly. i wouldn’t say don’t go per say. No one would have told me otherwise, I’d just say it’s really scary not feeling like you’re going to get the care you need. It took doctors at home in the hospital about 2 min to figure out what was wrong and the stool sample just confirmed it. If everything goes well, and surgery wise it did, you’re lucky but if not..... i don’t know. Save up a little more and do it at home. I don’t think i could ever do it abroad again. It was honestly one of the worst experiences of my life even while Mcan and dr harari seemed to be very caring.

I got my boobs done with them 3weeks ago and thinking to have bbl in Summer
Congrats :-) hope you’re healing well and loving the new look ;-) did you get them done with dr hariri ?
No Dr Cahit done mine, but I know a lady who went to Dr Hariri and is happy
Hi, which of their Dr did your boobs?
Did you have Breast lift with implants or just breast implants?
Have you gone back for bbl?
I'll appreciate your response as I'm looking into them for a few procedures.
Thanking you in advance.
Its my 12th post op day with Dr. Hariri (tt, muscle tightening and flank lipo), he's absolutely amazing!! MCAN staff as well! Would be more then happy to answer any questions or help out while you are here as I temporarily live here!
That's really reassuring to hear! At this point, I'm just nervous/excited and I hope it goes well. How was your pain post surgery? I've been trying to think of all the things I might want to bring from home that I may need. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I m sure you are! I was too! Well, first couple of days were no fun, but for me mostly because I had to lay on my back and my back hurt, trying to move or reposition wasn't fun, however even on the second day I was able to get up with help and walk a bit and it felt soooo good! Third day I was walking more, even sitting up, and every day after was better and better. I stayed in the hospital two days and was send home with 5 days worth of antibiotic and pain pills, and I have not used any pain pills since. The pain I felt afterwards wasn't like pain pain, it was just tightness from swelling, and don't be scared - first week or two you will go through 'swell hell' lol - but few days after it starts to go down. It'll me 3 weeks for me tomorrow and I am still swollen, not as much of course and every day it looks and feels better. What to bring, well depends on how long you are staying? I will be working on posting my review and pics today, I still thing Dr Hariri has magical hands, and MCAN staff support is a lot more then I ever expected. I'll send a direct message with some links. :)
Hi, this is quite helpful. I am booked for Mcan in May to have my surgery with Dr Vural and I am having same thing you had done plus a breast reduction. I am freaking out not and also in a dilemma of what I need to bring.
Hi would you recommend Mcan? Thinking of getting my breast done with them
Have you had your procedure yet? If so how did it go?
Hi ladies, lovely to finaly meet others going to MCAN. I am scheduled for a breast reduction in december with Dr Samet Hariri too. @changeiscoming is the lady who got hers done with Dr Hariri on real self too? Od love to connect with her!
@Changeiscoming didn’t get hers done with dr Hariri. Dr Cahet Vural was her surgeon x
Ok thanks!
How did the surgery go ?

Hi All
I’m wondering if anyone has experience with MCAN in Turkey ? Specifically Samet Hariri? It seems like he had a much lower profile than a number of Turkish surgeons on RealSelf but a lot of reviews elsewhere, without before and after pics however. It’s so hard to know when you’re going over O’Shea’s if you’re doing the right thing! I’m actually a little nervous because they are so much cheaper than the next quote. I wasn’t going for price but the times also worked well. It seems like Dr Hariri is a long time Turkish surgeon but I don’t know.... not enough reviews to make me feel really comfortable. I’m going anyway and I’m going to talk with him and see the clinic then see how I feel.
I can always change my mind I guess. Would love to hear from anyone with experience !

I am going to Mcan too in May though not with Hariri. I am also feeling like you do as there is isn’t a lot of before and after pics of the surgeons work. A lot of the pics I see are about hair transplants or rhinoplasty which makes me a bit nervous. like you, flights also booked
Hey, im planning to boom with this clinic just abit wottied. How did it go with you?
Hi, it was alright. However, I wish I never went with them as their aftercare is not great and I paid for procedures that weren’t done! I am also not pleased with my tummy tuck results and I now have to get it done again somewhere else. All in all, try to research other options. Though, I must say not all cases are the same. Some people used them and had no issues. This is my personal experience and I am not pleased.
Hey guys jus wondering how your surgery went ?
